FIRE AT ROADSTOWN.
What Might Have Proved a Ser
ious Confagration.

When the family of George Tomlin-
son, OF Roadstown, arose and went
down stairs Wednesday morning, they
were Mortified to find their kitchen in
flames. The fire was burning rapidly,
and the family Immediately went to
work to extinguish the flames. The
room was kept closed, admitting no
draught, and water was freely used,
until the fire was put out, and the
danger past.
The fire originated in the chimney,
the SCOT catching fire and falling on
the fire board, igniting it. From this
the flames spread over the floor, burn
ing % large hole in the flooring. A
large lot OF clothing which had been
hung on the chimney was totally de-
stroyed. The. fire also ran along the
wash boards of the room, and up a
door casing, burning it badly.
Had the flames not been discovered
as soon as they were, the loss of the
entire property and even life would
have been most probable. The loss
will probably amount to nearly $100.

Another Robbery.

The house of Mr.. Thomas Cummings
was entered Friday aft srnoon be-
tween five and six O'Clock, and about
twenty dollars taken. The entire
family were absent at the time, and
the thief is supposed to have entered
the door OF the house by a skeleton
key. His steps were directed up stairs
to the room of Mrs. Kesiah Pennington
mother of Mrs. Cummings, and then
he turned everything out of the bureau
and stand drawers upon the floor.
Mrs. Pennington had left about twenty
dollars in one of the drawers and this
was secured. In basket upon a
stand was a five dollar bill, but it was
not taken. Fifteen cents in the pocket
of one of the boy clothings was also
taken.
The robbery was discovered by one
of Mr.. Cummings sons, when he re-
turned from work When the thief
left the house he went out by a front
door. No apprehension of the theft
has been made. The matter has been
given in the hands of the police, but
as they have nothing to work on it is
hardly to be supposed they will catch
the fellow.

MIDDAY ROBBERY.
About $125 Stolen from the Store
of Johnson & Hancock.

Rather short and stout, smooth face,
we'll dressed, with blue overcoat On,
was the description given to the police
Friday afternoon, of a man who
took from the safe of johnson e. Han
cock about $125.
About two o'clock, expressman Shull
backed his wagon to the rear door of
the store, and Mr.. Johnson, who was
into the back room, directly in the
rear, to assist him in unloading. Both
of these gentlemen are positive that
they were but three minutes, possibly
five, not more, in unloading the wagon.
Mr. johnson heard footsteps in the
store, and Immediately went in. AS
he entered the rear door of the store,
a man answering to the above descrip-
ton, went out the front door. Mr..
johnson, thinking it was a customer,
hurried to the front of the store, but
the man was out of sight.
About half an hour later it occurred
to Mr.. johnson to see how much
money there was for deposit on the
morrow, and get it in proper shape.
What was his surprise, when, looking
for the money, to find that large
pocketbook, containing in all, about
$125, was gone. Immediately, the
strange actions of the aforementioned
man flashed upon his mind, and he
communicated directly with the police,
and the outgoing trains were watched
for the culprit, but nothing was seen
of him.
The safe from which the money was
taken is in the extreme rear of the
store, and the door is usually left un-
locked during the day. The pocket
book lay on a small shelf in the safe
by itself, the contents of which were
several notes of large denomination
and others of smaller. A check for
S11.70 and a note for SIS were also in
the book. Mr.. Hancock ordered the
bankers not to cash the check if pre-
sented. Several other drawers
were in the safe containing money.
and all of them were unlocked, but
not disturbed. Suspicion caSlnot be
fostered upon any one, and it is hardly
likely if the rascal is anyways sharp at
ALL that he will be detected. The
police kept sharp look ou for the
man, but found nobody al swering
the description.

Beat His Wife.

Andrew jackson is a good for moth

son refuses to work and endeavors to
compel his wife to turn over her hard
earned wages to his support, and also
to use in going on an occasional spree.
He has acted very ugly toward her
many times, but on Friday night the
Devil became too much for him,
and he abused his wife in a terrible
manner. Meeting her on the street
that night, he demanded money. She
refused him, whereupon he struck her
over the head several times and also
kicked her.
On Saturday, the mother of Lucy
appeared before Mayor Dubois and
made complaint, and on the next
offense, Andrew Jackson will find him

the next year or more, he will be busily
employed in that institution at Tren-
ton, known as the State Prison. Such
men as he deserve but little leniency,
which however, in this case seems to
be granted.

DR.. Robert P. Ewing, of Greenwich,
was in Bridgeton, Saturday, and called
at the PIONEER Office. He was in his
right mind, Notwithstanding the state
ment made in the Star. 1t is curious
how some folks will misrepresent those
whom they do not happen to like, and
thus do great harm and injury to.
worthy people. DIR. Ewing is not in
sane, and there is no danger of his
going to the asylum. He has been in
i'll health for some time, but he is just
as bright mentally as when the people
of this district sent him to q seat in
the Legislature which position he filled
with credit to himself and the State.

Reese Langstaff, a 16-year-old col
ored youth, confessed recently that he
had committed burgalry near New
Brunswick, N. J. Another lad whom
he named as an accomplice was arrested
but was found to have been nowhere
near the place at the time of the rob-
berry. Now, it is said, the real thief
has been discovered, and it turns out
that Langstaff had no connection
whatever with him or the crime. His
motive for endeavoring to get himself
into the penitentiary for five or ten
years is a mystery.

Pocket-book Stolen.

On Friday of last week Miss Lille
Butler, daughter of Roman Butler,
glass shipper at the Cohansey Glass
Works, was on her way from this city
to Philadelphia. She had her pocket
book, containing considerable money,
out of her pocket at the depot in this
city, but put it back again. On the train
she had occasion to use some money,
and found that her purse had been
stolen from her pocket. She has no
idea who took it as she was with no.
body. She thinks it must have been
done en- the platform in this city while
waiting for the train.

Captain David Marts, of Fairton, an
oysterman, tells story which could
hardly be believed if it had not come
from an unquestionable source. He
says that when down upon the Della
ware, in the darkest night, he can dis
tinguish boat sailing, if between him
and this city, from the light of the

see a carriage, on dark night, on the
Fairton road, when he is facing the

The early train from Port Norris

The early train from Port Norris
made its first appearance on Monday
morning at FIVE minutes OF seven.
James Stout acted as conductor. The
cars will stand on the side track until
about half-past six in the evening,
when it leaves this city. The other
train comes on as usual and connects
at the junction with the New York
train and leaves here in the morning
for Port Norris at 1919. A new car
has been placed on the road, and soon
others will be used. This gives two
trains day to and from Port Norris.

Bees begin to make preparations for
winter somewhat earlier than is generally
supposed. In preparing for winter, as in
deed in all matters pertaining to bee
keeping, apiarians ought to adopt as nearly
as possible methods of management II
agreement with the interests and habits
Of the bee. In report recently issued by
the department Of agriculture on the OBJ
servations and experiments made under
the direction of the entomologist occur
some notes of instruction on this subject.
1t has been found a good practice to
widen the spaces between the comb frames
near the close Of the honey gathering sea-
son, in order that the bees may, by elon-
eating the cells, place large share Of the
winter stores above the cluster. When
own design, as in box hives, spaces are
left between wide enough to admit of
elongating the cells in order that large
share of the winter stores may be placed
in the top of the hive, easily accessible in
the severest weather
AS soon as the storing Of surplus honey
is done the condition Of every colony
should be examined, the amount and
character of the winter food ascertained
the number of comb frames and the size
of the apartment should be determined by
and adapted TO the wants of each colony.
After the supply Of winter stores has been
equalized among all the colonies, il the
supply is insufficient, feeding should be
done before the advent Of cold nights.

Judging from the crop reports there is a
very general prevalence of gophers
throughout the newer portions of the
northwest. Professor Budd destroys
gophcrs on the Iowa college farm with
strychnine crystals. Potatoes are cut in
halves and their cut surfaces rubbed
with the crystals. These poisoned
pieces are stuck firmly on to
the sharp ends of stiff twigs, about
eighteen inches in length. AS the burrows
of the gopher are opened piece of potato
is run in the length of the stick, the outer
end being fastened by sticking it into the
earth at the mouth Of the hole BY this
means Professor Budd reports that the
land was cleared of the pests in about one
week When the poison was scattered
loosely in their runs it proved less ctIec-
tive, as they throw it out untasted in most
cases

CELERY.

sides sloped. AS the plants grow higher
the earth may be dug from the center of
the row with spade and banked up
against the celery.
Last season attention was called to the
blGnching of celery with tile. 1t is prob
able that some Of our foremost cultivators
will try this plan this season and report
success or failure from the same in due
time.
1t should be borne in mind that celery
must not I've worked or touched while wet
with rain or dew; this rule applies not
only to its cultivation in the seed bed, but
to the earthing process and when storing
for winter. Some growers tie the stalks
with string in place Of holding with the
hand while earthing.
Celery that is to be stored for cold win
ter and early spring use need not be
banked, as it blanches after it is in the
trench. The trenches are dug In dry soil,
well underdrained or where water will
not stand; these are made the width Of the
spade and as deep as the celery is high
The celery is packed in these trenches in
an upright position with what earth adj
heres to the roots, closely, but not crowd

weather becomes cold. Finally the trench
is covered with straw, leaves or other
litter, and the earth rounded up along

over the litter is recommended.

The draft horse interest is extending
rapidly throughout the country, notably
all over the west, Larger importations of
draft horses are reported this season than
ever before. AS these importations in
clude many Clydesdale horses, few
words about this breed will doubtless
prove Of interest. There is no question
that vast improvement has been
effected Of late years in the breeding of
Clydesdales, though the original stock
contained the elements Of what is really
good and substantial. The increased de-
mand, not only from Canada and the
United States, but also from South Amer
lea, Australia and several of the CONT
mental countries of Europe, has proven a
wonderful incentive to breeders. For
merly the valley of Clyde was the chief
breeding district, but nowadays Clydes-
dales are bred with about equal success in
nearly every county III Scotland.
While il cannot be claimed that the
Clydesdale is a model horse for every pur-
pose, it may be said he is a trustworthy,
level headed, docile animal, of great value
as draft and work horse. The average

The berberry or barberry, as this hardy
plant is variously termed, is employed in
some localities as hedge. 1t is easily
propagated both from seed and by a
division Of the roots. The seed may be
sown in early spring or as soon as ripe
and before they have dried. If the seed
are kept long before planting they are
covered in moist sand. A very usual
plan is to SOW the seed in the garden
and transplant the seedlings in the hedge
row, though some prefer to SOW the seed
where the hedge is desired, afterwards
thinning out the young plants.
